Syllabic Verse - Questions For The Moon...

Questions For The Moon

What secrets are you holding, dear Moon
How many a dark mystery was involved
Whilst gazing down from the starry realms
How many sad lovers are yet unabsolved?

Do you watch with bemused compassion 
Those small beings ghosted in your pale lights
As they flicker in amorphous realms
Of passionate hauntings and grim gargoyle heights?

Sweet Sashi what know you of the truth

Beyond my death and before my painful birth

Into this insidious constraint

Of costume mask and shield we must wear on Earth?

Lucine, you tell now of lunatics

Driven inane by temporal tenets of shame
Mad dogmas from those lost to their hearts
Who seek only to suppress their sacred flame? 

Or might you sing to me, fair Selene

Of scintillating moments dressed more tender

Graceful garments aswirl with delight

To celebrate joy with intimate splendor?

Pray dream with me now lovely Luna
And be the silver midwife to our rebirth
Into an age of love most golden
For the all and the one of our Mother Earth?

Serene insights grow clear within me
Reflected inspirations borne in your sight
Alas, to end this discourse must come 
Dear Moon how I bless thee for this lovely night!

*Side Notes:
I find it interesting that you can break the word question down into two words, quest and ion. Ions are electrically charged particles, either negative or positive, and what does asking a question do? It sends us charging off on a quest for answers and sometimes those answers are positive, sometimes negative, sometimes a poignant mix of both. 

It is not about knowing all the answers, it is about asking the right questions. As human beings created in the image of the absolute, we are naturally curious and asking sets that process of discovery and resultant experiences of evolution into motion. 

Ask and you shall receive is one of the foundations of our existence. Something else that is a foundational truth is that we always receive answers to our askings - it just might not be in a form we recognize or desire. Often we do  not truly understand what we were asking nor how we were asking. 

We ask with every word, every thought and every action. We are creators cast in the image of the absolute and we cannot stop creating. We are always creating cause and effect - whether we are aware of it or not. 

The key is to become conscious creators of cause and effect, learn to control by not controlling, by allowing and surrendering to the responsibility of the moment, by allowing what needs to be in the moment. 

What does responsibility mean: the ability to respond. Through responding to the moment appropriately in alignment with the Absolute, we become conscious cause and effect rather than unconscious cause and effect.
